Perfect Mac 3 device capable wireless keyboard
on October 10, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
The primary keyboard design uses the Mac layout and has the control, option and command keys. It is rectangular with 79 keys including curser keys but no numeric keypad. Three new F-row keys - Dictation, Emoji and Mute/unmute microphone are available and to me quite handy. It also has three Easy-Switch keys for device selection. The keyboard has just enough weight to be both comfortable to hold yet heavy enough to be stable. The keys are dished for good finger placement. They are positive with nice key travel and very functional resistance. The keys are quiet and nonintrusive. The charge connection uses USB-C charging.The Smart backlighting comes on when you use the keyboard and turns off when you leave it helping to save energy. The keys stay clean which is a plus for white keys.

A breath of fresh air - GREAT air purifier!
on September 19, 2021
Posted by: jhancock

The instant® Air Purifier AP100 is a small (can fit on a desk size) HEPA-13 air filter that is great for small rooms. It is quiet! It does not intrude on phone or video conferencing calls. It automatically goes into night mode to ensure ultra-quiet and low-light pollution operation. It also has an eco-mode for energy conservation. I took out the filter and then replaced it to see how easy it would be to change. The result – a minute’s time and supper easy! It uses activated charcoal filtration to eliminate odors and plasma ion technology to remove viruses (like COVID-19). It is attractive while being unobtrusive.

Great sound for gaming and player interaction
on August 12, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
Solid and good sound quality especially when using Dolby Atmos on my PC. It has good range and consistency of audio. Good battery life, about 16 hours. Rotating, well cushioned and very comfortable earcups provide sound isolation that is adequate for my use. A soft and flexible suspension strap takes pressure off the top of the head, this is a big plus for extended use. Logical and easy to use controls are a pleasure to work with. It has a great, easy to activate boom microphone with LED indicator. Activate it by lowering or de-activate it by raising the boom. Using the iCUE app you can control virtually all of the functions of the headset. The ability to use the long rugged, flexible braided USB cable or the included wireless adapter make it adaptable for Mac or PC. It is a well designed, constructed and durable headset. The RGB function adds a nice visual touch that is highly customizable.

Very high capacity and speed - a true gamer drive
on August 11, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
The WD_BLACKTM 3.5-inch internal desktop drive is a very reliable and high performance (7200rpm) Gaming and Video editing hard drive that runs unobtrusively in my i9 64gb ram system.
Tip – make sure you have a 3.5inch compatible drive bay or other mounting system available along with a SATA III cable and power supply connector.
The WD_BLACK™ provides a lot of performance, storage and speed for ultra-heavy computing tasks such as gaming or video editing – I use it for both. The 256 MB of DRAM cache on the 10TB drive is optimized for drive performance giving perceived load times similar to those of an SSD. Combine the drive with an SSD for a dual drive configuration, allowing you to benefit from the additional caching of your operating system onto the SSD or use several WD_BLACKTM drives in a RAID configuration for increased performance.
It comes with an exceptional 5-year limited warranty (I have not had to use the service on a WD_BLACK drive) but it is nice to know it is there.

Perfect Coffee Bean Grinder! For perfect coffee!
on June 25, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
This is the best coffee bean grinder I have used. – I have used manual, blade and various burr grinders. None have compared to the Ode Brew Grinder. It looks awesome. It functions flawlessly. It is well designed. It is rugged. It is easy to maintain. – did I say Quiet? WOW!
It has a guide on the inside of the top cover/lid for grind size – great touch! It has a magnetic receptacle positioner. It has a “knocker” to help clear/clean the burrs. It is much quieter than any others I have used. The power cord is heavy duty. The footprint is minimal for the capacity. It looks like maintenance is simple and accessible if needed. – I have not needed any. The instructions are comprehensive and easy to follow.
Beautiful and functional but most importantly – Great Grinds!!!

Great portable gaming combo!

The Razer Battle Bundle - DeathAdder V2, BlackShark V2 X and Gigantus V2 M is a nice combo pack that includes the DeathAdder V2 wired mouse, BlackShark V2 X communications headset and the medium size (an understatement) Gigantus V2 mouse pad (the pad ships flat so there is no waiting for it to uncurl).
The set is great for adding to a keyboard and desktop computer or used to augment a laptop. It is a mid-level gaming combo – nice price – nice performance.
The BlackShark V2 X headset provides clean audio, good mic clarity and nice, passive sound isolation in a very light aviation-style headset.
The DeathAdder V2 wired gaming mouse uses 20, 000 dpi optical sensors and hard-wearing switches to deliver excellent responsiveness, and the lightweight ergonomic design is both comfortable and easy to travel with. The Speedflex cable ensures a flexible yet durable connection to your computer. All in all it is a great package.

Very Portable - Strong Bass, Compact Size
on May 26, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
The XB13 wireless speaker with EXTRA BASS TM technology and a passive radiator with a full-range speaker to enhance low frequencies, delivers deep bass and great sound. The speaker has a compact design (about the size, but less tall than my coffee mug and about the same weight as the mug is when half full). It has a durable protective case (IP67), with a multi position strap, that you can attach to almost anything (backpack, wrist, tree, table umbrella etc.). Small size – take anywhere – fits in my cargo pocket.
You can use 2 XB13s wirelessly connected for stereo. Great battery life – close to 20 hrs for me. Nice mobile phone app. You can have hands free cellular calls using the built-in microphone. Google technology’s Fast Pair allows almost instant pairing. iPhone connections are easy to make. It comes with up-to-date Bluetooth® and USB-C for great connectivity.

Stylish, Solid and Light- great performing laptop!
on May 23, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
I really like the raised screen profile, the raised screen elevates the rear of the computer when the laptop is opened, this also elevates the speakers on the beveled sides allowing for even better audio reflection and dispersal (already quite good). Overall, the sound is very nice for this class of machine. The form factor is about as compact as you can get and still be functional without making it lager and heavier. It is very solid and stylish at the same time. It is very thin and still very sturdy. Although I would not recommend it for heavy duty gaming or video editing it is more than adequate for casual games and quick video production. The port selection is more than adequate for most setups, having multiple USB 2 & 3 ports, HDMI and SD card slots. It runs cool and quiet. It weighs next to nothing. All in all it functions well, looks great and is very study while still being compact, light and tuff.

Boost your confidence with this Upright Go 2 posture trainer. Integrated sensors detect when you're slouching to help train your body for better posture in under 14 days. Use the device by itself or sync with the Upright app on Android or iOS. With a portable design, 30-hour battery life and easy-touch adhesive to keep it safely in place, this Upright Go 2 posture trainer is ideal for all-day wear.
Will this device help remind me to hold my shoulders back? Or would a brace be better?
Typically when you sit or stand erect your shoulders are automatically moved away from hunched shoulders. The Upright - GO 2™ Posture Trainer has helped me in this regard.

I would like to use these headphones with my home theater a/v receiver. Yamaha RX-V685. Will this work?
They should work well with the Yamaha RX-V685 bluetooth.
